good point - why is it that the ads are louder than the progs?
2:57 am
herinfernallady

Fm I still have yet to see the end of Planet of the Apes remake due to adverts
2:57 am
Haz1558

Presumably to attract your attention but it is maddening.
2:57 am
FMitch

Do we really need to be shouted at to buy loo rolls?
2:57 am
KatieMcG

legally they are not allowed to have them louder,but they get round it by changing the balance within the sound to make it seem that they are
2:58 am
herinfernallady

Actually the adverts are not louder than the show. ''they'' claim that it is actually at a different pitch and frequency thus seeming louder
2:58 am
Haz1558

I know they claim that they're not louder, but when you're forced to turn the volume down every ad break, I know whose ears I trust.
2:58 am
KatieMcG

lol herin and I know the same useless facts :-)
2:58 am

Same here.

Obviously right around the world everyone at ad breaks turns up the tv or dials up the hearing aides all at the same time
3:01 am
FMitch

:) herin.
3:04 am
herinfernallady

We had an advert here for Just Right Cereal. They had a group do a survey on the first add and everyone said the same thing. Music was too annoying and the wrong pitch. They had already made the add and had to run it. The second add they made was animated pre making and they had the same music. When it went to air the music and the actual advert was different to the one the research group saw. It seemed the people had spoken. I was research monkey on both times

My cousin did something similar at this church but they are the recordings of the bells. They had to do it as the bells were old and it was unsafe to ring them but too costly to replace them

what meds are you taking? will take my mind off this place....
4:02 am
Barb's Horses

just tylenol which does nothing really for my FM...is acting up as I had spent a lovely day with my step-daughter and granddaughter yesterday. We shopped and had breakfast out and she got to ride my brown horse (hawk) and then we had a lovely BBQ with my son, husband and her husband.
4:03 am
rubyfoo

sounds like a wonderful day, barb! what is your FM?
4:04 am
Barb's Horses

they say they can give me much stronger ones but I refuse as I have to be able to function...can just sit as a vegetable in a chair or bed all day...which will happen if I take them

hi sprite
4:05 am

I have a very bad back which is unfixable and I take the mildest codeine plus sa French equivalent of tylenol and it allows me to function normally, no sleepiness and no pain unless I overdo
4:05 am

hello sprite!
4:05 am

I am sorry to hear that, barb, that is evidently the worst pain you can have!

learning to pace yourself with due respect for your handicaps is one of the toughest lessons to learn. I know.
4:06 am
rubyfoo

sprite is very wise
4:07 am
sprite

I wish. Just a lot of experience there.
4:07 am
Barb's Horses

yes you are right sprite and being a person...or rather having been a person who as always worked very hard and looked after everyone else ....it is indeed a hard one to learn
4:09 am
Barb's Horses

at least there is a name for it and some people realize it isn't something you are making up
4:09 am
sprite

it is, Barb. It is tough to put yourself before others, and it is even tougher to learn not to be disappointed at yourself for being 'weak' or not able to get as much done as you used to. *hugs*
All I can say is: it helps to learn to take yourself really seriously, be mild and gentle with yourself and to realise that your being there and being you is much more important than any chores you can ever do.
4:10 am
rubyfoo

yes, barb, gentle hugs to you!
4:10 am
Barb's Horses

thank you sprite and ruby too...

Barb's Horses

hi FM
4:11 am

Morning ruby :)
4:12 am
sprite

lol now there is something. I often wonder, which kind of people can even just THINK that someone would willingly pretend to be in deep pain, frustrated all the time, limited in what they can do and feeling inadequate to booth? Of course it is real pain!
4:12 am
sprite

hi FM :)
I had to... and it is an uphill battle all the way, still. Thanks for saying that, it helps!
4:13 am
rubyfoo

I think there are husbands like that! I have a friend in France with barb's FM, just in her feet, and her husband doesn't believe her!
4:13 am
sprite

that is a really sad thing.
4:13 am
Barb's Horses

thanks sprite for that too...I have to say until I suffered so badly at it I never understood what my sister had to go through...and now I understand
4:14 am
Barb's Horses

I never knew it could be in your feet till I saw the specialist...was amazed that some of the pains I had over the last few years were all related and not just as I over did
4:15 am
sprite

Barb, on days like you are having now, I try to cherish the memories, and consider the pain the price I pay. I had to learn this, and also to take a couple of days after in which I take it very very slowly and make up for overdoing it.
4:15 am
Barb's Horses

I have also learned the FM can lead to MS some of the time...was surprised at that too
4:16 am
rubyfoo

oh my! I feel very sorry for you and guess I shouldn't complain about my bad-tempered husband
4:16 am

it is an ugly thing, fm. Contrary to FM, who is a beautiful person ;)
4:16 am

4:17 am
Barb's Horses

yes I will be down for at least 3 - 4 days which annoys me...I know learn to take it ease...I am still learning and I do cherrish my day with both of them Just so wish the muscles in my body didn't ....vibrate...so much with the pain is all
4:17 am

4:19 am
Barb's Horses

I feel I shouldn't even complain when there are others so much worse off with their own things than I...did that make sense?
4:19 am
FMitch

a moment of joy can keep you going for a while.
4:19 am
sprite

I know, Barb, I really do. I wish I could give you something from what I have learned, but words are only words.
The being annoyed part eats away your energy, but that can only be cured by learning to be really mild to yourself. Deep down feeling you deserve to take care of yourself now, that you are worth the rest as you were worth the pleasure of the company. It isn't easy.
4:20 am
Barb's Horses

I did take time to smell the roses today..and I am paying for it...but loved every moment just the same
4:20 am

I have more trouble with the vowel words
4:27 am
FMitch

4:27 am

I think vowel words are harder to spot for most of us. Not sure why.
4:27 am
FMitch

oh ruby - my downfall is always the o's and e's.
4:27 am
rubyfoo

me too
4:28 am
sprite

vowel words don't make me blind and stupid, like the K words do. But I have always trouble spotting them.
4:29 am
rubyfoo

what do you think, ladies, should I relent and make my nasty husband his Campari and soda?
4:29 am
FMitch

Nah - make him get it himself!
4:30 am
sprite

tell him you will make it for him if he can be nice and sweet
4:31 am
FMitch

Start training him to do his own stuff so you can come visit London or anywhere.
4:32 am

remember, rubyfoo: it takes two to tango... he cannot be as nasty if you won't let him get away with it.

4:43 am
Haz1558

I do it in fits and starts but it never brings the same joy as babble. I think it's because it's numbers.
4:44 am
FMitch

I like the no chat no words as I wake up with suky duck.
4:45 am
sprite

I like sudoku, but I enjoy using pencil and paper, and I play in bed before I go to sleep.

4:50 am
Soodlebum

Like I said - a bit weird!
4:52 am
Soodlebum

What was a bit freaky was that my step-son is exactly the same age as my ne're do well husband was when I met him, and the splitting image of him,
4:52 am
sprite

must have brought back some memories
4:53 am
Soodlebum

Yup! Quite upsetting, really.
4:54 am
sprite

I bet. Also many talks about your ex? Seeing how that was the first thing you all had in common?
4:55 am
Soodlebum

Michael never knew his Dad, and was desperate to see photos, hear stories etc. It was all a bit surreal.

Better again today, Nancy Boy -- I cough a lot when I wake up, but it should be manageable again soon. I actually slept straight through last night (for the first time in several days)
11:47 am

11:48 am
Nancy Boy

awww, good to hear it, Stid!
11:49 am
Nancy Boy

lol, Leslie! I'm just getting my name legally changed to Jesse. Everyone calls me that, so it makes more sense than keeping my Korean name
11:49 am
stidmama

"Nancyneedshelp" doesn't have the same ring to it...
11:49 am

11:53 am

But I don't know of anyone who has been hit by a teacher from my generation.
12:02 pm
Nancy Boy

really, Stid? I didn't know that...if you sneeze on a student here, it gets touchy. There's a big no-contact rule
12:03 pm
stidmama

yes, that's why that awful teacher who beat the student with dumbbells was such big news. That man should have been removed immediately from the school...
12:03 pm

I found a group on facebook from my old neighborhood and all the girls were talking about the nuns smacking them in their faces and their mothers saying "You probably deserved that!"

I can't help but think that this year's French Open final must have been a bit of a disappointment -- they are showing re-runs of every Roddick-Federer match from last year, but not this year's Nadal-Soderling match! *sigh*

Corporal punichment was illegal in, eg Iowa, in the 1930s, but still legal when my children started school (1972) in Calgary. Not used much though. The nuns I had just smacked the yardstick down on the desk in front of your fingers - excellent aim, one and all - except for a brand new teacher who slammed my elbow on the desk to stop me daydreaming, and left my arm paralyzed for a couple of hours - and a truly senile teacher in Grade 8 who actually used the yardstick on some pupils, but hit bottom when she locked a claustrophobic student in the supply closet for the afternoon.

watercress, or any kind of greens for a snack in the eve, Kap. Sure, you'll have to pee around midnight, but it helps with flashes

That is one more than what I have.

nrkii

I'm trying to decide how bad I want to be with dinner tonight
4:39 pm
Merk

bad?
4:39 pm
nrkii

I'm thinking kobe burger and sweet potato fries
4:39 pm
nrkii

I've eaten my way through the past two days already
4:40 pm
nrkii

so I should eat something healthy
4:40 pm
Merk

That can't be all that bad. I've decided on stir fry
4:40 pm
nrkii

but I am craving grease
4:40 pm
Merk

Can we rationalize here ... sweet potatoes are better for you than white potatoes, i.e. french fries
4:41 pm
nrkii

yes, yes, go on
4:41 pm
Merk

You know, I can't say grease is a usual craving of mine. Ice cream yes, grease, no
4:41 pm
nrkii

kobe beef much better than regular beef, right?
4:41 pm
nrkii

usually for me it's chocolate
4:41 pm
nrkii

but once in a while, i just want a burger more than anything
4:42 pm
Nancy Boy

bleurgh. salad!
4:42 pm
nrkii

you know, if you throw a broken up bacon cheeseburger on top of a salad, with a lot of russian dressing, it's really quite good
4:42 pm
Nancy Boy

can't tempt you? ;)

hi all...NB how's england these days?
4:43 pm
Nancy Boy

hi, Pav! It's none too shabby thanks - for once - lots of pasty English people walking around all sunburnt recently ;)
4:44 pm
Nancy Boy

how's the situation where you are - any better than last time we spoke?
4:44 pm
PAV3

and here we are trying to stay indoors...s/b > 110 this week
4:45 pm
PAV3

how does one go about asking for a raise...when one knows it really shouldn't be happening...
4:45 pm
Nancy Boy

hmm...blackmail?
4:46 pm
nrkii

should not be happening... why?
4:46 pm
PAV3

budget cuts...hiring freeze...s/b saving money
4:46 pm
nrkii

if it's company is on hard times, don't ask...
4:47 pm
nrkii

sorry
4:47 pm
PAV3

I work for the state of AZ...if we're not in hard times, I don't know when we will be...
4:47 pm
nrkii

yeah, only case I'd ask for a raise would be if the company were doing well and I was outperforming... both would have to be true
4:48 pm
LeslieAnn

good point pav, public sector is different
4:48 pm
PAV3

I've been outperforming and I get the expectation of continuing to do so....
4:48 pm
nrkii

yeah, gov't job might be exception
4:49 pm
nrkii

in that case, i would disregard the "shouldn't be happening part" and just ask
4:49 pm
nrkii

but be prepared to lay out the case, with details, of how you are outperforming
4:49 pm
Nancy Boy

hmmm...I wouldn't know about that. If I want more money from my job I just flirt my way into getting bigger tips ;)
4:49 pm
LeslieAnn

especially if you can tie it to cost savings. e.g. it would take 2 people to do your job otherwise
4:49 pm
PAV3

how does one sound "not greedy" and not as "needy" without whining? I've never asked for a raise, they just happen
4:50 pm
Nancy Boy

ohh, Leslie makes a good point..
4:51 pm
nrkii

the other option is to say you are actually performing at a level higher, and are eager to take on that type of work more in the future, and want to be promoted (so it's not about the money, even though the money will follow)
4:51 pm
PAV3

yes, I should and can do that...the prob is that as the finance mgr, it's been my job/duty to find cost savings...
4:52 pm
nrkii

15 to go here. . . hit the wall, I fear
4:52 pm
PAV3

my biggest issue has been that, since I'm sitting in meetings with the division directors and assistant directors, and PIO and lobbyist, I'm the lowest paid person...
4:56 pm
LeslieAnn

you should be paid comparable to people who have the same level of responsibility
4:58 pm
PAV3

and my altruistic side says working for the "people" I should expect lower wages than private sector...
5:00 pm
LeslieAnn

they should still be comparable to others in the public sector
5:00 pm
PAV3

Once I was asked to sit in on a meeting with my then boss and my replacement to discuss her salary package. She was offered 25% more than I was on. When I asked him afterwards why he didn't pay me the same, he said "you didn't ask". 30 years later - I have never forgotten that. Ask Pav.

qualifications, shzmalifications - you are doing the job. Find out from a placement agency what salary you would get in the commercial world. Sit down with your boss and say that you are planning a change in your personal finances/situation and you need to know when you will be getting your next increase...and make it known that this $ is what someone like you would earn on the outside and that this level of $ is what should be considered - even if not immediately
